Platform Overview
Identity Replaces Keys
PRIVATE.ME is a cryptographic platform that eliminates key management through identity-based authentication and threshold secret sharing. Zero external dependencies. Information-theoretic security. Sub-millisecond performance.
Built from 19 composable building blocks into 205 Authenticated Cryptographic Interfaces (ACIs) serving AI/ML, finance, healthcare, government, and enterprise.
What is PRIVATE.ME?
PRIVATE.ME replaces traditional key management infrastructure with identity-based cryptography. Instead of rotating API keys, managing certificates, or maintaining PKI, systems authenticate using Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and communicate via XorIDA threshold secret sharing.
Identity Replaces Keys
Systems authenticate using DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) instead of API keys, SSH keys, or certificates. No rotation. No expiry. No distribution burden.
XorIDA Threshold Sharing
Data splits into N shares requiring K to reconstruct. Information-theoretic security. Sub-millisecond operations. No computational assumptions.
Zero Key Management
No key servers. No Hardware Security Modules. No rotation policies. No master keys. Identity-based operations eliminate the entire key lifecycle.
Core Platform Capabilities
Six foundational categories built from 19 building blocks.
M2M Authentication
Identity-based machine-to-machine communication. xLink replaces API keys for AI agents, microservices, and IoT devices.
xLink
Algorithm Licensing
Deploy proprietary code on customer infrastructure with cryptographic billing enforcement. Full Control for SaaS → on-prem transitions.
Full Control
Identity Infrastructure
Unlinkable DIDs, verifiable credentials, and privacy-preserving authentication. xID for eIDAS 2.0 compliance.
xID
Data Custody
Split-custody memory management with cryptographic access control and proof verification. xMemory for cloud-native systems.
xMemory
Secure Computation
Privacy-preserving computation over split data without reconstruction. xCompute for multi-party analytics.
xCompute
Access Control
Threshold password management and credential storage. xLock eliminates single-point-of-failure password managers.
xLock
Why PRIVATE.ME vs. Alternatives
How PRIVATE.ME compares to incumbent solutions.
vs. OAuth / API Keys
Eliminates rotation burden and cascading failures. No token expiry. No refresh logic. xLink shows 603× speedup in agent restart scenarios.
vs. PKI / mTLS
No certificate management complexity. No CA trust chains. No revocation lists. Identity-based authentication replaces entire PKI infrastructure.
vs. TEE (SGX, SEV)
No hardware dependency. Works on commodity infrastructure. Threshold splitting provides security without specialized processors.
vs. MPC (Multi-Party)
180× faster than hybrid PQ KEM. Sub-millisecond operations vs. computational overhead. XorIDA threshold sharing is information-theoretic, not computational.
Common Use Cases
Industry-specific applications organized by domain.
AI / ML
Agent-to-agent communication (xLink). Model licensing and IP protection (xGhost, Full Control). Federated learning without gradient leakage (xFederate).
Finance
SEC off-channel compliance. Trading system authentication. Post-quantum resistant key exchange (xChange). High-frequency performance optimization.
Healthcare
HIPAA-compliant data sharing (xHealth). Clinical trial data custody (xMemory). Patient consent management with unlinkable credentials (xID).
Government / Defense
FedRAMP compliance (xBoot, xGate). FISMA/CMMC Level 3+ (xWall). Classified data custody. Zero-trust architecture (xLink + xID).
Enterprise
Zero-trust architecture. Passwordless authentication (xID). Multi-party approval workflows (xSign). Compliance key escrow (xLock).
IoT / Edge
Per-device identity (xLink). Firmware distribution (xBoot). Over-the-air updates (xPatch). Satellite/SCADA systems (xOrbit, xSCADA).
Platform Architecture at a Glance
19 building blocks compose into 205 ACIs. All products share the same cryptographic foundation.
